Google encryption fills holes in Lion Server encryption

Monday, February 27, 2012

Last week Google said Apple's Lion Server disk encryption isn't good enough for enterprise and provided its own open source add-on. Google released Cauliflower Vest, an open source tool specifically for automating the enabling of FileVault 2 encryption in enterprise settings for Lion Server and its clients. At its open source blog, Google described why Lion Server's disk encryption inadequate for enterprise:

While the new FileVault 2 offering is very well suited to consumers, some enterprises may equire additional features that are not provided out of the box. For example, FileVault 2 encryption is initiated voluntarily by users, lacks enforcement, and, by default, escrows recovery keys to Apple's central server. It also relies on individual Apple IDs, which cannot be managed as a group.

Cauliflower Vest addresses these issues by providing three functions to Lion Server administrators:

CrossOver 10 runs Windows apps on a Mac--without WindowsRuns more Windows apps and installs them with 1 click. Office, Outlook support, Quicken, ActiveX in Internet Explorer and more, launched directly from the Finder -- just as if they were Mac apps.
